Strategies To Scale A Sales Organization
Researchers predict that in 2020 customers will be able to handle 85% of all business contact without ever interacting with a human! Digitization, connectivity, and technological advancements have accelerated the pace of life and increased the frequency of changes in prevalent trends, making hi-tech features an integral part of the business ecosystem.
Here are a few ways to increase your digital presence and make use of new technologies to better scale your sales organization in 2020:
Make a Digital Plan
It’s quite common for sales organization to want to go digital, sell online and make use of technology to reach the masses. However, many businesses fail to plan their activities, set targets and research digital markets—and that’s why they fail to have any impact on the digital front. Clearly defined goals, niches, and the potential of each team member must also be taken into account while scaling. Otherwise, taking shots in the dark can backfire.
Research each digital channel, create a plan of attack detailing how you will find and attract your audience, and ensure coordination between teams to keep the tone consistent across all platforms. The best online sales channels nowadays are email (30%), LinkedIn (12%) and Facebook (7%), according to the HubSpot State Of Inbound.
Build An Efficient Sales System
Digital marketing is not the only area where technology comes in handy. Internal structuring and business activities also need leverage to cope with evolving market trends.
It is in the best interest of a sales organization to be well equipped with up to date tools and techniques to stay ahead of the competition. CRMs, cloud infrastructure, and automated systems can reduce your expenses and decrease human error while increasing your efficiency at a larger scale. Moreover, these tools can help record, sort and track data for key sales insights, like an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.
